I think you picked a poor example to illustrate your point. Let me preface by saying the woman in question is without a moral compass and utterly despicable. However, in this particular case, it was night, approx 0130 am, the boys were riding bikes without lights, down the middle of the road in an area with very poor to non existent street lighting.
If cyclists (of which I am one) want to carry more influence over how bikes and the use of them are perceived in general and more importantly how incidents between cyclists and motorists are treated by police, courts and public opinion then it's incumbent on the cycling community to promote and foster safe riding practices as well as educate motorists/
